30+ products recommended by JourneyWoman readers

Curated by JourneyWoman staff

Our Things She Loves issues have been so well-read that we wanted to share some of the most popular items in time for this year’s Amazon Prime Day. This is a great time to save money on the things you need for travel. While we always encourage recycling items, some things need to be purchased new, particularly electronics, gear and personal hygiene items. Why not use recommendations from women in the JourneyWoman community?

Travel Gear

1. I used the ​Cabeau memory foam neck pillow​ in my travels across Europe. It’s soft, comfortable, and has a high wall on the collar that holds your head in a neutral position. I love that it folds into a very small bag that I can clip to my backpack.” Pair it with the ​Cabeau eye mask​ for even more sound sleep on the plane. — Carolyn R.

2. The ​S’well drink bottle​ keeps water cool for over 36 hours. It’s good if you’re travelling in hot weather right now. Plus, it comes in so many fun colours! — Esther F.

3. The ​Smartwool socks​ with full cushion have been keeping my feet happy while I travel around Scotland and Ireland. The extra padding is much more comfortable. — Carolyn R.

4. When backpacking for 3 months last year in Europe, I wore ​Teva sandals every day. Not only were they super comfortable, but I could wear them into the water – super helpful when on the pebbly beaches! — Kim H

5. For the occasional need to sit down, I tried out ​this portable stool​ for the first time. It’s 3 lbs to carry and worked well when I got tired touring the Palace of the Doges [in Venice] and needed to sit, though I’m not sure I’d want to carry it around the whole time.” — Diana E.
